What to bring every day
Children need to bring these items each day:
- a bag
- change of clothes
- piece of fruit or vegetable for snack time
- healthy lunch that can be kept cool with an ice brick in an insulated container
- a drink bottle containing water only
- a sun-safe hat (broad brimmed or legionnaire style).
Please write your child’s name on everything they bring.
Please apply sunscreen to your child before they arrive during warmer months.
What to leave at home
Children should not bring these items:
- food containing nuts (some children have nut allergies that can be dangerous)
- unhealthy food or drink (lollies, chocolate, chips, drinks other than water, muesli bars)
- toys and special belongings from home.
Additional information
Please dress your child in practical, comfortable clothes to allow them to manage independently and move freely. Avoid braces, belts and button up overalls. Thongs, plastic boots, slippers and ugg boots cannot grip well so children will be asked not to climb while wearing them. Baseball style caps, singlet tops and strappy dresses do not comply with our Sunsmart and UV policy. Kindy t-shirts are available for purchase.
We celebrate children’s birthdays by singing ‘Happy Birthday’ and blowing out candles on a pretend cake. If such celebrations conflict with family beliefs or culture, this will be respected.
